I ended up skipping the Wednesday workout entirely. In fact I just didn't run at all. I had a beer before the run at the Bridge Race, and after getting home in the dark at 8:30, I asked Melinda if I should go out for a run. The vote resulted in a solid "no".
So I moved the rest of the week a day up. This way, I ran 5 on Thursday (TT), pretty hard actually, because I stayed with the lead group. Rested on Friday, and ran the 12-miler on Saturday. I had some GI issues, but the run itself felt very easy at 8:09 average pace. Am I ready? Probably not, but I'm also not woefully under prepared.
Since I have an extra day (resting on Sunday), I'll space out my runs a bit more. Also, the days work out better that way:
M: 6 R
T: 7 w/ 2 @ MP
W: Rest, sailing, perhaps some Dark & Stormy (which will be the only alcohol this week)
T: 5 R w/ 6 x 100m at Thirsty Thursday, thirsty for water or soda only
F: Rest
S: 4 R in the morning, packet pickup, boat pull in the afternoon.
S: Goal marathon
